2 young teens face capital murder charge after 2nd victim dies in Dallas-area shooting

Texas teens face capital murder charge in shooting

DALLAS — Investigators are seeking to charge two youths accused in a Dallas-area shooting with capital murder after a second victim died.

Garland police spokesman Joe Harn says 48-year-old Alan Nevil died Thursday night from wounds he suffered in an Aug. 17 shooting that also killed his wife, 46-year-old Darlene Nevil.

The 13-year-old boy and his 12-year-old girlfriend initially were charged with murder and aggravated assault in the shooting. Garland police said in a Friday statement they intend to upgrade those charges to capital murder.

Police have declined to identify the children or reveal their relationship to the Nevils because they are minors.

They remain in custody at the Dallas County Juvenile Detention Center.
